Parliamentary party switching in Poland as an element of political strategy The article aims to explain the phenomenon of parliamentary party switching in the context of political strategy. Switching parties by legislators during the term is often seen as an opportunistic behavior, focused on obtaining attractive places on electoral party lists. The paper’s goals are to determine if the legislators’ will to switch parties is correlated with the party public support and, finally, if the deputies truly have better chances of winning reelection if they switch parties.
